Today is my birthday, which I which I celebrated by snoozing and listening to the welcome rain and talking to my sons when they called. I’m going to visit my NP tomorrow and I may have to wear a heart monitor and even get an ekg 😩my blood pressure goes from absolutely normal to ultra high back and forth.
I blacked out again a couple of days ago and got more bruises and a scrape along my face. This is nOT fun. I want to get back into the drawing and painting and visiting my DW friends. Everything is such an effort now.

So I’m finally back and I find out that MediaFire is a mess. I once again, finally had a neat painting to upload. It’s been too long since I’ve drawn/painted. I also had a picture of Son #2 “B” with Son # 3 “J” standing in front of #2’s helicopter. Both “boys” are military. B is a Chief Warrant Officer 4 and a 2 tour Iraqi war veteran. Son# 3, J is a pathologist and a major.

The thing is, I was so happy to see them together. It is a joy for me to see my sons s good friends to each other. That is all I need and want.

My oldest son and Son # 4 also spent the last week together. This brinme happiness and joy.

My dw account got screwed up a couple of months back, and it seemed too much effort to bother with. But with the coming of the new year, I wanted to start up again and connect with people I consider friends. I’ve missed y’all.
I thought it would be nice to highlight some of the events of the last year. Two granddaughters were born, making 5 granddaughters in total from 5 sons. What the heck with all of these girls? God knew what he was doing giving me sons. I had brothers, no sisters. Ah well.

My youngest son graduated with a mathematics degree in April. He’s still looking for work in his field. I wanted to post a few pictures from this eventful year, but many pictures disappeared into the ether. I do wish I had a picture from the fires. One particular shot shows a black and orange sky at noon. Also would have shared the pic of the kid’s graduation picture. It tells you everything you need to know about my family. In the picture, he is wearing board shorts and flip flops. His community community college sweatshirt and then his university robes. In one hand is a pizza box, and the other a root beer bottle. It was hilarious.

Hopefully more to come before too long.
